Aurum shareholders approve sale of Andash gold-copper Project to Kentor

Targeting production in 2011

Kentor Gold Ltd (ASX Code: KGL) (Kentor or the Company) moved a step closer to developing the Andash Gold-Copper Project when shareholders of Aurum Mining plc (Aurum) approved the sale of the project at a General Meeting yesterday.

The approval clears the way for Kentor to complete the acquisition of Aurum ’ s 80% interest in the Andash Project on 22 December 2009.

The acquisition cost is US$15 million, including the purchase of a construction and mining fleet that has already been assembled and transported to the Kyrgyz Republic..

Commenting on the approval, the Managing Director of Kentor, Simon Milroy, said:

“ With the final approval of our acquisition of Andash secured, Kentor can now proceed to the financing and development of this company making project that will move Kentor to the status of mid-tier gold producer within two years. ”

The high grade, low cost Andash Project is currently targeted for production at the average annual rate of 60,000 oz gold and 5,000 tonnes copper for eight years.

Andash is located in the Kyrgyz Republic where Kentor has the advantage of a long established, permanent presence. The deposit is situated in the Tien Shan gold belt, one of the world ’ s major gold provinces spanning central Asia. The Project has the benefit of a near surface deposit with ore that is metallurgically simple to process, existing infrastructure including roads, water, low cost power, and a readily available workforce.
